Post-Incident Analysis

Following a critical incident, organizations have an opportunity to strengthen future prevention efforts through thoughtful evaluation and continuous improvement. Tassin Prevention Consulting conducts comprehensive incident analyses to identify contributing factors, evaluate organizational response, assess existing policies and procedures, and develop actionable recommendations. The objective is not to assign blame, but to identify opportunities to strengthen prevention strategies, improve organizational preparedness, and reduce future risk.

Indirect Behavioral Threat Assessment

An indirect threat assessment is conducted when direct contact with the person of concern is not possible or appropriate. Using available records, collateral information, communications, digital content, behavioral history, and other relevant data, Tassin Prevention Consulting evaluates patterns of behavior, warning behaviors, risk factors, and protective factors to provide an evidence-based assessment of concern. Organizations receive practical recommendations to support threat management, safety planning, and informed decision-making.

Direct Behavioral Threat Assessment

A direct threat assessment includes a structured interview with the person of concern to better understand their circumstances, motivations, stressors, protective factors, and potential for future violence. When appropriate, this process is combined with a review of collateral information to develop a comprehensive understanding of the individual's behavior and level of concern. The assessment culminates in evidence-based recommendations that support effective threat management, intervention planning, and organizational decision-making while prioritizing safety and appropriate risk reduction.
